Fermat's Experience with
Paleo Diet for Arthritis

For a period of about 2 years I have had minor to moderate pain in my knees if I try to stand up from squatting down. This was quite bothersome to me because I enjoy gardening a lot. It was getting progressively worse so that even when I am just out walking my dog, just walking up the hills would also sometimes trigger it.

I have been on the Paleo diet for about 6 months. During this time, I also started taking glucosamine, Co-Q10, and doing more strength training exercises. I'm glad to say that my knee pains have almost completely gone away! I can now happily garden all day without having the pain bother me.

I'm rating this one a 4 because I can't tell if the Paleo diet is what ultimately cured the pain, or it was a combination of other things. I feel pretty confident that it did help, though.
